alertDetailsOverride:
alertDisplayNameFormat: User '{{SrcUsername}}' with IP '{{SrcIpAddr}}' has been observed with performing file enumeration activity
alertDescriptionFormat: User generated multiple requests '{{RequestCount}}' that has resulted in error code '404', suggesting the possibility of file enumeration activity. It's important to investigate the source and patterns of these extensive 404 errors to identify potential security threats.
